00:00My question is very clear.
00:20Are you the owner of Novoa Trading, the company that
00:28exported bananas and drugs when you were already the president?
00:37Yes or no?
00:39No.
00:40No.
00:41Candidate, you have one minute to explain your answer.
00:45No, I'm not the owner, but there are members of my family in that company.
00:54We have made that clear before the prosecutor's office.
01:05You insist in this, and I believe that there should have codes in politics.
01:12I will never mess with your children or your partners.
01:19So I will say this to the Luisa Buena, who is watching this.
01:24You are the Luisa Buena, and she is the Luisa Mala, the bad.
01:31Ecuadorians, look at the social media, and you will see that the National Direction of
01:44Special Operations denounced that Novoa Trading, who belongs to Mr. Novoa, who has fiscal paradises,
01:56and that exported money to Croatia and Italy, and the prosecutor's office has changed their
02:08prosecutors five times, and they haven't been able to give an answer.
02:15So this has proved that this company belongs to you and to your family.
02:21Yes, it belongs to my family, but I'm not the owner.
02:32What I want to say is that my family has been working 75 years, three generations,
02:39to generate employment, wealth, to help millions of families, something that you will never
02:47understand.
02:50These are all your positions in the public functions.
02:55You have never generated employment.
02:57You have never helped a family.
03:02The only relevant thing you did was taking the pensions from people.
03:10What is clear is that we are the path to progress and to employment, and that you are the representative
03:19of corruption.
